Quickstart Intelligence

I came here for four day crystal reporting. They had the two of us in a conference call to irvine. Entire day conference is hard on the ears.
Personalized attention is not going to happen
The instructor asked any questions once in two hours
Visitor parking is at the very top and far end of parking structure

I previously went to the quickstart intelligence in Irvine, and that place had some slower machines, which kind of hindered me when I was working on the machine during my class. Much nerd sadness. Though I must say the Irvine facility did write me a letter saying they were going to update their machines, so hopefully they did.
However, at the El Segundo Facility, my experience with the machines was much improved. Hyper V was was running fast and the PC’s were running faster than mine. I was impressed.
The teacher and staff are also top notched. For my Advanced SharePoint course, the instructor was very knowledgeable and always helpful when I needed his assistance. He also kept me awake and not let my mind wander, which is very hard to do! My Salesperson was great as well and even took me out to lunch. He also helped me get registered in the class at the last minute.
Anyways I felt I learned something in my course taken here and if anybody has the money or the time, to take training here.

So, I just completed my 2 day training for Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006. I guess Fridays really are dress down days because the receptionist was wearing a hoochie mama pink tube top with bleached jeans that had more signatures on it than a hooker’s cast… uhh…nevermind.
Anyway, I don’t remember much of the training because… well, because I couldn’t concentrate… the instructor was distracting. Not because the instructor was hot… ooooooohh noooooo… but because I was dumbfounded.
Why, you ask? Well, when I first walked into the classroom I didn’t pay much attention to anything but when I sat down and the instructor introduced herself… her voice was deeper than mine. Wow, she must have a cold or something.
Random thoughts that ran through my mind in the span of a few seconds:
— She sure is tall
— Her hair is kinda kinky… looks like a mop made out of pubes
— She has some broad ass shoulders
— Her hands and feet are ginormous
— I didn’t know boobs look like softballs
— Kinda top heavy ain’t she
— I guess she doesn’t like wearing make up
— That’s a huge gut she has
— WTF… is that… an…Adam’s apple???
Squeak squeak squeak… the hamster wheel in my head starting spinning… haha. I’m not making fun… just not used to it. She was cool though. Nice person and good instructor… but boring ass material. Oh well… it was an experience. Never gonna forget it.
